Amos 3:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 3:5

3 Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?

4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey?
Will a young lion¹ cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?

5 Will a bird fall into a snare on the earth, where there is no¹ trap for it?
Will a snare spring up from the earth, if it has caught nothing at all?

6 If a¹ trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid?
^aIf there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?

7 Surely the Lord God does nothing,
Unless ^aHe reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

8 A lion has roared!
Who will not fear?
The Lord God has spoken!
^aWho can but prophesy?

Punishment of Israel’s Sins

9 “Proclaim in the palaces at¹ Ashdod,
And in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say:
‘Assemble on the mountains of Samaria;
See great tumults in her midst,
And the¹ oppressed within her.
